The Blizzard of 2016

The Blizzard of 2016, AKA Snowzilla, set all kinds of snowfall records…including the most beers sampled during a blizzard for the Boa Beer Blog! The snow total for my corner of Kensington, MD was 30 inches. And the beer total was off the charts too!

Being snowed in for 74 hours (from Friday, Jan 22 at 1:00 p.m. to Monday, Jan 25 at 3:00 p.m.) gave me plenty of time to sample some good brew, especially a lot of Sam Adams.
